A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality: Immortal Realm

Even though the two of them had also been affected by this malicious aura, they were able to recover only slightly slower than Han Li.

However, in the instant that the two of them shrugged off the malicious influence, they exchanged a glance with one another, following which a layer of crimson light resurfaced in their eyes as they pretended to still be under the influence.

These minor details weren't able to escape Han Li's notice, but he didn't expose them.

With the seven people operating the array falling under the influence of the malicious aura, the light emanating from the array immediately dimmed, and the restrictive forces acting upon the seven malicious deities abated significantly.

The seven malicious deities roared to the heavens as they began to struggle with renewed vigor, and a string of loud cracks rang out as a series of cracks appeared on the seven crimson rings.

At this point, Lan Yan and Lei Yuce had already completely shrugged off the influence of the malicious aura, and alarmed looks immediately appeared on their faces upon seeing this.

However, everyone else was still currently under the influence, and the array couldn't be operated by just her and Lei Yuce alone, so there was nothing that they could do.

All of a sudden, a burst of radiant golden light descended from above, forming a ring of golden radiance around the seven malicious deities. Countless golden ripples surged out of the ring of light, and the struggles of the malicious deities instantly ceased.

Han Li then appeared within the ring of golden light before sweeping a sleeve through the air, releasing five streaks of golden light that vanished into the bodies of Xiong Shan and the others.

The bursts of golden light contained tremendous time law powers that instantly eradicated the remnants of the malicious auras in their bodies, and with that, the seven cultivators were able to regain control of the array, restoring the strength of the rings around the bodies of the seven malicious deities.

Lan Yan immediately opened her mouth to release a ball of blood essence into the crimson badge before her, and the law threads on the badge lit up before releasing another flurry of giant, crimson runes that struck the light barrier up ahead.

A string of resounding booms rang out as the crimson light barrier shuddered violently before being torn apart, following which it disintegrated into specks of crimson light.

Han Li withdrew the ring of golden light upon seeing this, and the seven malicious deities let loose a collective roar of indignation as their bodies also exploded into specks of crimson light.

"Thank you for your help, Fellow Daoist Shi!" Lan Yan said as she stood up and turned to Han Li with a grateful expression.

Han Li was just about to reply when there was an abrupt eruption of activity as Lei Yuce, Wen Zhong, Jin Liu, and Su Anqian launched themselves at the exposed stone table in unison.

The four of them each reached out before making a grabbing motion, conjuring up four giant hand projections that made a grab for the treasures on the stone table.

The table was instantly shattered into pieces amid a resounding boom, while the treasures were scattered in all directions before being claimed by the four hand projections.

Out of the nine treasures, Wen Zhong, Jin Liu, and Su Anqian had each claimed two, while Lei Yuce had managed to claim three.

The four of them had pounced like lightning, and only now did everyone else realize what had just happened.

"What are you doing? Didn't we agree to split these treasures evenly?" Xiong Shan asked with a dark expression.

The black-robed duo didn't say anything, but they were clearly not very happy, either.

"With your paltry cultivation bases, what right do you have to split these treasures evenly with us?" Jin Liu sneered, then turned an excited gaze to the two treasures that he had claimed, namely the Tranquil Water Immortal Lotus and the Heavenly Vajra Diamond. 𝐑₳ƝÖВËṠ

Xiong Shan was furious to hear this, and his hands balled up into tight fists up his sleeves, but in the end, all he could do was lower his head in silence.

Lei Yuce exchanged a glance with Su Anqian, and the two of them each sent a treasure flying through the air, offering them to Han Li and Lan Yan as Lei Yuce said, "Fellow Daoist Lan, Fellow Daoist Shi, it was all thanks to the two of you that we were able to bypass this Seven Blood Deity Array, so even though you two have passed up the treasures here, I think you still deserve one each."

A glimmer of purple light flashed through Han Li's eyes, following which he swept a sleeve through the air to return the treasure being offered to him as he said, "There's no need for that, I'm already satisfied with the firefly hives I received earlier."

"I'm also content with having my senior martial brother returned to me," Lan Yan said as she returned her treasure as well.

"In that case, I won't force the issue. It looks like there are many treasures in this place, so I'm sure there will be more spoils to be reaped," Lei Yuce said with a smile, and he was just about to stow his claimed treasures away when all of a sudden, the three treasures in his hands suddenly disintegrated into three translucent, gray threads.

A flabbergasted look instantly appeared on his face upon seeing this, and before he had a chance to react, the three gray threads pounced at him like a trio of springing vipers.

Before Lei Yuce had a chance to react, the three gray threads pierced through the protective golden light around him before vanishing into his body, and the same thing had happened with the treasures claimed by Su Anqian and the others as well.

The four of them immediately fell to their knees as they threw their hands onto their heads, and they began to tremble uncontrollably while letting loose horrific cries of agony.

Everyone was very much taken aback to see this, and in the next instant, they immediately sprang back in retreat to open up some distance between themselves and the four affected individuals.

Han Li had been tempted to accept the treasure offered to him by Lei Yuce earlier, but his Infernal Devilish Eyes had tipped him off to the fact that there was something amiss about it, and that was why he had refused to accept it.

All of a sudden, the agonized cries of Lei Yuce and the others began to subside, and their pupils were rapidly turning gray as their bodies also ceased trembling.

"They've fallen under someone's control!" Lan Yan exclaimed as she swept a sleeve toward the four of them, releasing a burst of blue light that formed a blue dome over them.

The dome seemed to have been woven out of some type of special thread, and it was several hundred feet in size.

Every single thread was giving off a burst of rippling, blue light, and tens of thousands of waves of blue light immediately converged toward the Lei Yuce and the others from all directions.

At this point, the pupils of Lei Yuce and the others had already completely turned gray, and Su Anqian and Jin Liu raised their hands in unison to release four streaks of blue light, within which were two long, blue halberds and two large, blue flags.

The four immortal treasures intertwined with one another to form an enormous ball of blue light that opposed the descent of the blue dome, while Lei Yuce and Wen Zhong pounced at Han Li and the others.

Countless streaks of golden sword qi erupted out of their bodies before raining down upon Han Li and the others, and even before the streaks of sword qi had fully descended, countless gashes had already been sliced the walls and the ground, and the surrounding space was also trembling violently.

Xiong Shan, the black-robed duo, and Lan Yuanzi hurriedly sprang into action to defend themselves, and only with the four of them joining forces were they just barely able to ward off the attacks from Lei Yuce and Wen Zhong.

However, the shockwaves from their clashes were too much for the palace to endure, and it quickly collapsed into ruins.

With the confines of the palace removed, everyone flew up into the air, where they were able to fight more freely, and a fierce battle ensued.

Lan Yan was opposing Su Anqian and Jin Liu on her own, while Xiong Shan and the others were facing Lei Yuce and Wen Zhong.

In their current state, it seemed that Lei Yuce and the others weren't able to unleash their full power, so even though Lan Yan and the others were on the back foot, they were able to hold their own just fine.

"Who's sneaking around here? Come out!" Han Li yelled as he hovered in mid-air while scouring his surroundings with his Infernal Devilish Eyes.

"Oh? Are those Infernal Devilish Eyes I see? I didn't think I would be seeing a devilish ocular ability here. Looks like I'm going to have another powerful illusion servant!"

A lazy voice had rung out in the nearby space, but it was echoing in all directions, as if there were countless people speaking at once, making it impossible to ascertain exactly where the voice was coming from.

Han Li wasn't able to identify the source of the voice, either, but he could tell that it didn't belong to Lekima, and his heart immediately sank a little.

Could it be that there really was more than just one fugitive being held captive on this level?

"Why are you sneaking around despite your powers? Are you afraid to show yourself?" Han Li yelled.

"You think you can goad me into coming out? What do you take me for, a three-year-old child? If you want me to show myself, then you'll have to make me!" the voice chortled.

"In that case, I'll do just that!" Han Li said as a faint smile appeared on his face, following which he reached out in a certain direction before making a grabbing motion, and a thick bolt of golden lightning sprang out of the palm of his hand before striking a spot several hundred feet away.

A deafening thunderclap rang out as the space there rippled violently, following which a middle-aged man appeared out of thin air with a surprised look on his face.

The man was dressed in a long, azure robe, and he had a set of gentle facial features, but his eyes were a pair of pupilless gray blurs, presenting a rather peculiar sight to behold.

The golden lightning nearby still hadn't faded, and all of it converged toward the middle-aged man.

However, the man remained completely unfazed as he casually swept a sleeve through the air, and all of the surrounding golden lightning was eradicated by a burst of invisible force before it could reach him.
